We loved the trip on a catamaran to the resort which was a 30 minute ride from Lucerne,the scenery incredible! The funicular up to the top of the mountain was so much fun. and comfortable. Once we were up there, there wasn’t much to do after strolling the grounds and visiting the gift shop. The resort is very expensive to get something to eat or drink. The hotel itself caters to wealthy celebrities and thus the high cost. Other than that it was a treat to see and experience.
Traumhafte Aussicht auf dem Bürgenstock. Leider extrem teuer. Boot ab Luzern, Bahn retour und Hametschwand Lift CHF 77.- pro Person. Oben im Restaurant Avocadobrötchen mit Stange chf 40.- pro Person. Mir war's zu teuer!
Ich würde den Ausflug nicht mit dem Schiff machen. Katamaran, Standseilbahn und Hammetschwandlift sind in Summe viel zu teuer. Besser ist die Fahrt mit dem Auto zum Bürgenstock-Resort. Dort wandert man in 30 Minuten zum Hammetschwandlift. Die Fahrt hinauf und herunter kostet 18 Franken pro Person. An der anderen Version verdienen zuviele mit, vor allem die Kataris, denen das Resort gehört.
Note - this is merely ordering tickets online with about a 5 service fee to La Vacanza Travel. Bürgenstock is pretty and maybe there is more to do and see in the summer, but definitely not spring May. The Hammetschwand Lift is a 20 minute walk/hike from the resort where you are dropped off. The funicular is steep as advertised. If you can get out to the lift, it is neat, Otherwise, it is just an OK day and purchasing through La Vacanza Travel doesn't do much for you. Everyone seemed confused when I showed them the voucher instead of a ticket.
On a complete whim, we took a train from Basel to Lucerne so my mom could see the Swiss countryside she'd always wanted to see. The train lets you out right in the heart of Lucerne. We walked across the street and saw there were boats on the lake, so we asked the ticket booth worker what we could do. This was a suggestion. What fun! The ticket includes a boat trip to the dock for the Burgenstock resort. A steep Cog train takes you to the top with stunning views. The trip includes a free drink ticket for two locations. We chose The Palace Hotel outside patio overlooking Lucerne. What a completely enjoyable day doing something we hadn't planned. The Burgenstock has been visited by stars like Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Lauren. For a fun day, I highly recommend this! The boat trip was $42 Euros per person.
